Installation

Installation of IRkernel

The tours in R are Jupyter notebooks. To run them (which we recommend), you need to install IRkernel through https://github.com/IRkernel/IRkernel.

Installation of the libraries

The tours make use of different external libraries such as:

imager

pracma

Matrix

Each time you encounter a new library in a numerical tour, you will need to install it.\
In order to install each of them on the R kernel for Jupyter, you need to run the following line on an R terminal:\

You can use from the R prompt the command home to locate this directory:

R.home()

Installation of the toolboxes packages

Each tour makes use of a toolbox package that needs to be downloaded as a .zip file, and then unzipped within your working directory (from which you will run the notebooks): (https://github.com/gpeyre/numerical-tours/tree/master/r/nt_toolbox).

Alternatively, you can download the whole numerical_tours: (https://github.com/gpeyre/numerical-tours/tree/master/r/).
